We bank with a large national bank. We used one of the tellers as our notary for most of our paperwork. One day she told us that we were going to need crisp new money for our trip, just give her a few weeks notice and she will order it from the federal reserve. She also told us that international adoption is the one thing they can order new money for anytime during the year so that is the reason that the banks might need documentation. They are also charged a fee to order from the federal reserve. Our bank passed this one to us (I believe it was $100), but well worth it not to have to scramble to get new money. Also, our bank put the money in their safe until we needed it. They did not take the money out of our account until we picked it up.
